Foundation Repair Pros
Warning Signs Your Home’s Foundation is Broken
- Cracks in your flooring
- Windows and doors that don’t close properly
- Sloping floors
- Stair-stepped cracks in brick walls
In Southeast Louisiana, we have several factors that lead to damaged foundations including natural disasters like hurricanes, poor soil conditions like clay, termites, and rotten wood from the extreme moisture. Don’t fret, we can help by identifying any of the problems.
Our crews have repaired hundreds of foundation problems all across the New Orleans area, from the Northshore to the Southshore and both sides of the Mississippi River. If your home’s foundation shifted off its piling due to a hurricane, has termite-damaged timbers, or is in a flood-risk area, we can safely and efficiently repair or elevate your foundation.
Regardless of the size of your house or the height you need to elevate it, we have the expertise and the tools to get the job done. Our crews use a unified hydraulic jack system that can securely raise your home to any level required by FEMA.
Our Process for Foundation Repair
- Determine the Cause – We start by determining the extent of the damage and what is causing the damage.
- Create a Game Plan – Knowing the problems, we create a strategy to safely correct what is causing the damage and repair the damage that already occurred.
- Prep the Jobsite – We do our best to minimize our impact on your home, which may include removing plants from the area or disconnecting specific utilities.
- Dig Around the Foundation – We dig around the perimeter of your house to give us access to work on it.
- Install Concrete Pilings – Typically every 6 liner feet.
- Lift the Foundation – We carefully lift your foundation using a unified hydraulic jack system.
- Repair Pier Foundation – We repair the issue causing the damage – which may require replacing rotten timber, adding additional supports to your foundation, or adding pilings to increase the height of your home.
- Clean Up / Backfill / Remove Debris – Once we’re done, we fill in the areas where we removed dirt and add additional material to allow the soil to naturally compress. We also clean up the surrounding area.
